Past Predictions That Were Way Off
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 Posted in Funny Stuff | 43 Comments »A good friend of mine sent me a list of predictions, some which are several years old, that are quite off.

Carpet Cleaner Telemarketing On My Cell Phone
Thursday, June 12th, 2008 Posted in Funny Stuff | 3 Comments »It has happened twice now. Some nameless carpet cleaning company calls my cell phone (a no no in the first place) to try to get me to schedule service with them. It is a computer that actually calls which then prompts me to select the number 1 to schedule appointment. I am then sent over to a "real" human being whom I assume schedules the service. Both times I have asked to be taken off list ...
Difference Between Men and Women
Friday, April 25th, 2008 Posted in Funny Stuff | No Comments »This is a humorous look at what our interior control panels might look like. What is this picture trying to say? That men are simple and women are quite complex? I would say so. Actually I think the man's control panel should have three switches, labeled as follows - "Food," "Sex" and "Ataboy." Of course a wise man will learn how to operate the woman control panel, that is if he has any hope of having a ...

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008 Posted in Funny Stuff | 15 Comments »Now that we have a newborn in the house (our first grandson), I'm finding myself having to brush up a bit on how to properly care for him. Even though we have raised three children, it has been what seems like a lifetime since they were infants.

The Coffee Lover’s Prayer
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008 Posted in Funny Stuff | No Comments »I love coffee. In fact, I often joke that I hook myself up to a coffee IV before I get out of bed each morning, which of course is not true. However, it is true that the first thing I do each morning is make a pot of java. In addition to my love for good coffee, I also like a beer that has a hint of coffee taste. I recently enjoyed such a beer called ...
If You Are Under 30 Years Old – You’re Spoiled!
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 Posted in Funny Stuff | 1 Comment »For those of you who are over 30, do you recall the days of our youth when our parents used to tell us how hard they had it when they were our age? They'd say things like, "When I was young, I had to walk to school barefoot, in the snow and uphill - both ways." Heck, I used to tell my kids that very same thing, jokingly of course. And while kids do have it ...

Monday, January 21st, 2008 Posted in Funny Stuff | 21 Comments »We all use drive-thrus - fast food, banks and even pharmacies such as Walgreens and CVS. I love the convenience - I can make a deposit at the bank, pick up a prescription and grab some Super Tacos at Jack in the Box, all while in my pajamas. What spoils the whole experience of a drive-thru? Those who are either too stupid or just too self absorbed to follow what I like to call "proper ...
